Guess I’ll be that guy then. I think he’s unbearable to listen to. I’m not even one to ever complain about announcers but good lord, dude just starts talking without any direction of where he’s even trying to get to. That whole Baker “spade is a spade” monologue that kept getting interrupted and yet he still kept trying to finish, was absolutely terrible.

Smitty was a beast on the field and had some great one liners during his career. But he comes across as somebody who truly thinks he’s a philosopher. He did the same thing when Kyle Bailey interviews him on 610 back when they had a regular segment going. Just plain hard to listen to.

First quarter when production screwed up and showed Al Holcomb with Steve Wilks name on the screen, and Smitty dropped a, "come on, we don't all look the same". Don't think the play-by-play guy knew how to react to that one. 

That was a great moment.  Love Smitty.

Oh poo I missed that! That's hilarious!

What I love about Smitty is he not only has great knowledge of the game, he's not gonna mince words. He's gonna tell you what he thinks.  Broadcast football is by definition entertainment, and Smitty is easily the most entertaining option we've ever had doing color commentary. I agree that some of his comments can be awkward at times, but overall still miles better than the vast majority of color commentators and I'm excited to see how he grows into that role over time. Here's hoping he's our color guy for years and years to come.

    • I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan 
    • Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.
    • I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
